Does anyone know of somwhere near Brisbane that can do this?
Alt who does good panel work. lots of small holes etc in bottom of front and rear gaurds. (usual spots)
Also some larger ones which would require a bit more work.
Was going to have a crack at this but is getting a it daughting and time is hard to find at the mo.
Really want to try and stay away from the putty quick fix if possible.
Also the bottom of one of the doors has a large hole in the bottom of the door, only visable from bottom,is on the inside and not visable from out side.
Is this repairable or a waste of time. would like to try and keep all as i got.
Left hard drive at home with pic's will post some later.

Sound like a bit more than lead-wiping required, although it's hard to tell without seeing the damage.

I did quite a bit of lead-wiping in the '50s - early '60s, but lead is not good over rust. Pity you are so far away, or I could give some lead-wiping lessons.

yep Lead wiping is really only for the seams in the old days before BOG was invented

hardtop do as you must have a ultra clean surface and require a good flux also

nothing wrong with the plastic body filler these days much easier to use and safer ( also you must have a good clean surface to bond to )

I only ever use lead for seams, joins and edges. Lead is not to 'cover' rust holes. Unfortunatley once you have holes on the outside you will have much more you cant see still. The proper way is to cut out all of the affected area and replace it.

Thanks for the replies, i have been cutting and welding in patches, (fun weliding such thin material) for the larger holes etc, the areas i was thinking about leading are areas where there is pitting not all the way through the panel, sort of on the curve/bends. appears to have cleaned up quite well but may just have to look at the plastic stuff.
Will post some piccies when i get a chance for your opinion.
Shame im not closer happdayz for sure, i would still love to check out this old practice and try and keep the skill alive.
Thanks for the advice, trying to sort this has slowed my restro but in no rush.
